A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine struck an object on Oct. 2 while submerging in the South China Sea, injuring 11 crew, although there are no life-threatening injuries, the U.S. Navy declared on Thursday.
The USS Connecticut (SSN 22), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, was operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region when the collision happened, the Navy said in a statement.
